Here are two places that you may want to pay a visit to.

Sark, Channel Islands

This is one of the few places in the world where tradition still stands and the traditional ways are fully respected. The roads here remain not cemented（鋪水泥）, and are not even paved, and they are completely dark at night as there are no street lights. The residents of Sark are not allowed to drive cars, and if they do, they have to keep them outside Sark. The transportation you can use in Sark includes your legs, bicycles or a horse-drawn carriage. There are no motor vehicles here.

There are many activities you can enjoy here during the day, but when the night comes, the only thing you can do outside is look at the sky, which is really great. Because of the lack of artificial lights, the stars are very clearly visible.

Hyderabad, India

This southeastern city of India was the city where one of the wealthiest people in the world lived, Mir Osman Ali Khan. Now this city is the place where many global IT brands hold their head offices. But it hasn’t lost its historic looks, as it remains surrounded by ancient boulders（大圓石）, and the modern houses recently built are surrounded by traditional gardens and lakes. From the great hotel Taj Falaknuma Palace you can see the Old City where the old Indian tradition is well preserved.

The best time to travel to Hyderabad depends on whether you are going for the city itself, or you wish to go to some of the festivals that take place here. The Hyderabad Literary Festival takes place from the 23rd to the 26th of January, while a festival celebrating various cultures, the Deccan Festival, happens from February 25 to March I.

1.Sark on Channel Islands would most probably attract those who _____.

A. want to go hiking in a mountain

B. are interested in exciting nightlife

C. want to enjoy a very quiet holiday

D. want to visit a city with a long history

2.If you go to Sark on Channel Islands, you can _____.

A. try driving on unpaved roads

B. go everywhere on a motorbike

C. use a horse-drawn carriage for free

D. enjoy the beautiful starry sky at night

3.Why hasn’t Hyderabad lost its historic looks ?

A. Because many old buildings remain there.

B. Because an ancient place still remains there.

C. Because many buildings that are like old ones are built there.

D. Because traditional boulders, gardens and lakes remain there.

You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belvaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.

The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(傘蓬)built into a street lamp,” he said.

The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(傳感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians(行人) shelter whenever it starts raining.

In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used, the canopy is closed.

According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded(埋地線) to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed(安裝) at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.

While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.

1.What’s the implied meaning of the underlined sentence?

A. You’d better check the weather forest before going out.

B. You may get sheltered from rain even if you don’t have an umbrella.

C. Weather forecast is not always reliable.

D. You’d better take an umbrella if you fail to check the weather forest.

2.Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?

A. motor→canopy→sensors

B. motor→sensors→canopy

C. sensors→motor→canopy

D. canopy→motor→sensors

3.What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella?

A. Its safety. B. Its appearance.

C. Its installation. D. Its moving speed.

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. The designer will open a company to promote his product.

B. The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production.

C. The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.

D. The designer is confident that his creation is practical.

Summer is the season of family travel. 1. Here are our top 5 things to teach your children before entering big crowds:

How Far They Can Go — 2. For young children, you should establish a rule of always holding a parent’s hand. For older kids, you may be comfortable with a “I can always see you and you can always see me” rule.

To Call Your Real Name — Teach your children that you will find them, so it’s best if they stay in one place. Furthermore, teach them to call out your full name instead of “Mommy” or “Daddy” to help you more easily locate them.

How to Identify a “Safe Person” — Make sure your children know the best people to approach if they get separated from you. Employees working at the spot you’re visiting are generally always good, “safe people”. But what about places that may not have employees, like the beach? 3. Experts say that moms are often the most willing and best-equipped people to help kids.

What to Say — 4. Remember that if your children do get separated from you, they will likely be panicked, so don’t assume that they will know how to tell strangers that they are lost. Role-play getting lost and using simple sentences like, “I am lost” with your kids to help them know what to do if it actually happens.

Their Personal Information — Make sure your children know as much basic personal information as possible, including their full names, parents’ full names and telephone numbers and the address. 5.

A. Teach your children to look for a mom with kids.

B. Sometimes it’s not hard to find a safe person in such places.

C. But do your kids know what to do if they get separated from you ?

D. If your kids are too young to remember them, write them down !

E. It can be hard for people to help a lost child.

F. Tell your children to behave normally when they get lost.

G. It’s important to talk with your children about how close you expect them to stay to you.

The Regional Director of the National Heritage Conservation Commission (國家遺產(chǎn)保護(hù)委員會) Kagosi Mwamulowe said the Barotse Plains is unique and it deserves to be on the list of the World Heritage Sites.

Mr. Mwamulowe said the Barotse Plains deserves to be included on the World Heritage List because it has a rich cultural heritage which includes the burial sites of former kings.

The Director said he hoped that the landscape would be declared as a heritage site next year in June. He also said it was important to protect Zambia’s unique culture for education and entertainment.

Chief Natural Heritage Officer Muyumbwa Ndiyoi said there will be a lot of benefits when the Barotse Landscape is declared a World Heritage Site because it will attract many tourists and business investments will increase.

Mr. Ndiyoi said the site will also benefit young people as knowledge will be passed down from generation to generation.

He was reacting to a question from Nalolo District Labour Officer Jason Ngoma who wanted to know how the people of Western Province will benefit once the Barotse Landscape is declared a World Heritage Site.

And University of Zambia Lecturer Charles Namate said there is a need for the site to be included on the World Heritage List because 50 years after its independence Zambia only has one heritage site, which is the Victoria Falls.

Lecturer Namate said the Barotse Landscape was facing a lot of environmental degradation, and that’s why there is a need to recognize the value of its landscape and the memories of dead kings.

The National Heritage Conservation Commission together with the Ministry of Chiefs and Traditional Affairs are in Western Province to hold meetings with Heads of Government Departments. The Commission also held closed-door meetings with the Litunga Lubosi Imwiko II of the Barotse Royal Establishment.

1.What do we know about the Barotse Plains?

A. It has royal tombs.

B. It is being well protected.

C. It is not far from the Victoria Falls.

D. It’ll be listed as a World Heritage Site soon.

2.Mr. Ndiyoi believes that if the Barotse Plains is declared a World Heritage Site, _____.

A. it won’t benefit the people of Western Province

B. it will attract many foreign students and researchers

C. it will contribute to the local economic development

D. more people will start to learn about Zambia’s culture

3.In the text, Lecturer Namate expressed his concern about _____.

A. the future of the Barotse Plains

B. the development of Western Province

C. the development of tourism in Zambia

D. the environmental problems of the Barotse Plains

4.What can we infer from the text?

A. Zambia only has two World Heritage Sites.

B. The Barotse Landscape has been partly destroyed.

C. The Barotse Landscape issue is still being discussed.

D. Young people in Zambia don’t know about Barotse culture.
